Curtis Harrington, Chapter 7 bankruptcy Attorney on Jan 7, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I was lucky enough to have a young lawyer Michael sit next to me when we were volunteering for Public Counsel and assisting in answering questions for a room full of about 30 indigent debtors who had turned to Public Counsel for help in filing their own bankruptcies. That was a little more than a year ago. Since that time, I have seen him at the Public Counsel Help desk solving the problems of a great many indigent people seeking bankruptcy advice. Michael is also an enthusiastic and aggressive player in high end bankruptcy matters and is an integral part of the bankruptcy community in Southern California. He has a technical mathematics background and combines it with a loyalty to his bankruptcy clients to give them the best of his high capabilities. I'm pleased to see people with his dedication in the bankruptcy community, and I VERY HIGHLY AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSE MICHAEL. Michael will form the core of the Southern California Bankruptcy elite for many decades to come.
